Give a gift that inspires.
The Hudson River Maritime Museum, in partnership with the Kingston Sailing Club and Rondout Rowing Club, founded the Riverport Sailing & Rowing School in 2017. Featuring youth sailing and rowing programs, adult sailing classes, and US Sailing instructor certification classes, Riverport Sailing & Rowing School seeks to get a new generation of enthusiasts out on the water.
With community support, the sailing school added six Optimist Pram dinghies to its fleet for youth sailing education. These new additions were built by students enrolled in the Hudson River Maritime Museum's YouthBoat morning and after school program. YouthBoat is free to area teens who benefit from a safe space to built self-esteem and confidence through learning STEM-based curriculum focusing on wooden boat building and related trades.
